They divide the electorate and help keep us from coalescing around a few main goals. This helps ensure that no matter which major party controls the government, the same agenda of fascist imperialism is projected via our military might.

Simply look at most hot button issues. Most should not even be a consideration of constitutionally restrained federalism. Yet here we are debating birth control and same sex marriage while our economic engine collapses. Will anyone care if gays wed when we are starving to death in record numbers?

And while you are at it, ask yourselves just who is driving the hot button issue train? The major parties themselves, the media, the rich, all of the aforementioned?
